Burned Alive
Touched me deeply.
Courage
What an amazing story that teaches all of us that we are here in this world for a purpose, that the human body and mind are so powerful! Powerful to withstand such physical and emotional torture. Destiny defines itself in the unconditional love that a mother has for her children!
